Serves well balanced hamburgers and other dishes like steaks and pancakes, nice interior/atmosphere, open on weekends/until late. 3 branches in Tokyo as of March 2017, convenient locations, can be used for a date meal. A nice option to hav…

Photo: http://crownedcat.com/ Nice little cafe in Daikanyama that got popular with their *thick* sandwiches. It's actually very thick if you hold it right in front of your mouth. I could barely take a bite.... Worth a visit if this is your…

Chikuyoutei has a long history as an Unagi (eel) restaurant and has many branches in Japan. This is a good benchmark for Unagi when having it else where, meaning that this place is definitely above the average but not special. So, it would…

Seemingly, Ichiran became more popular for non-Japanese customers in Japan in the past several years. In general, western people tend to like Tonkotsu ramen (a.k.a. Hakata ramen) more than the other major flavors (fish-stock soy-sauce, mis…

Seemingly a well-known bakery store from NY. Stuff here is refreshingly sweet and could possibly be way too sweet for many Japanese folks, but at the same time they tend to like ANYTHING that comes from NY so this bakery may get pretty pop…

Japanese style stir-fried noodles. Massive quantity (300-600g) for the same price. You'll absolutely be full for the price. And the taste isn't bad. If you normally eat a lot, try 600g. Close from Shibuya station. Worht a try. My rating: 3…

Used to be well known as "SumibiyakiShichirin", pretty famous for Yakiniku lovers in this domain. The quality of their beef is surely good but a bit pricy for its quality. You might still not get full by spending 10,000 JPY so should expec…

Photo from Tabelog Photo: http://www.kiwa-group.co.jp/restaurant/231/ Very affordable, easy access, comfortable to order as someone who doesn't say a thing in Japanese. As located in the middle of Roppongi, they are used to dealing with no…

Photos above from Tabelog Gonpach seems very popular for visitors from overseas, especially this branch in Nishi-Azabu as it can accommodate a lot, and is well-known for being filmed for the movie "Kill Bill" back then. Typical traditional…

Photo: http://www.tsurutontan.co.jp/ Pretty popular place located in the middle of Roppongi, open almost 24/7. Nice place to have a relaxed meal at a low cost, even before/after clubbing in this area. Always crowded. If you don't know wher…

Photo: http://www.frijoles.jp/index.html Pretty much like Chipotle, though not as good. 4 branches in Tokyo. Should be a good escape for non-Japanese residents when wanting to have something non-Japanese. You can choose what meats/vegetabl…

Source: http://billsjapan.com/jp Not much explanation needed, probably. Originally from Sydney, Australia. Got pretty popular in Japan for its exceptionally fluffy mascarpone-cheese-mixed pancakes. 6 branches in Japan, 3 of which are in To…

Source: http://www.ippudo.com/ Pretty popular Tonkotsu-baesd (pork-based stock) ramen chain restaurant. Seemingly pretty famous in NY too. Tonkotsu-based Ramen is actully more accepted overseas than in Japan for its milky taste and many no…
